The park in our garden is bursting with atumn colour, With a wide variety of oak trees as well as cherry trees, and pine trees, olive trees and others I cant remember the name of. It is quite daunting conveying all the different nuances of ochres. but the process is what is important and the joy that comes from doing it. As always.
Watercolour and pen in Stillman and birn beta sketchbook.
A rough drawing to get going.
The bulbs are pushing up everywhere and now is the perfect time to do do some flower sketching. I enjoyed doing this sketch and getting on with flowers again. Afterwards I decided to add pen. (second image)
So, pen or pencil?

Last year was my fisrt season of painting the vineyards in Provence in autumn. I love the colours of the vines in fall, it is so atmospheric and I try to convey that feelng through my paintings. I can hardly wait for this years autumn paintings, but for now I enjoy the last summer days.
